time from June 22 to September 28, 1957. It is notable that while NBC only saw fit for it to be run during the Summer, ABC (being relatively new as a network) aired it during the regular season. 1981 pilot A revival pilot was taped on February 7, 1981, by Chuck Barris Productions and hosted by Bob Eubanks. Despite negative opinions by some fans who saw it, this version actually had very few changes aside from starting the players off with $100, and a $500 bonus once the player reached $500. Chuck Barris had acquired the rights to both this show and another Jan Murray series, Treasure Hunt. “Second” was produced by veteran producer Willie Stein and Barris producer David M. Greenfield, who had worked with Eubanks on “The Newlywed Game”. Had Dollar a Second been sold, it would have most likely been partnered with the revamped Hunt in five-a-week syndication. Episode status For decades, only two episodes were known to exist of the original series; one is notable for being guest-hosted by Dagmar. A third episode was discovered and uploaded to YouTube in May of 2021. The 1981 pilot was aired on GSN twice - first as part of their Game Show Turkeys marathon of unsold pilots on Thanksgiving 1998, and again as part of their "Raise The Dead" unsold pilot marathon on October 28, 2000 (the latter being hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark).
